Troll-Blooded's Short Coming

[kevin video]

How do you get around the troll-blooded feat's "fatigued when exposed to sunlight" aspect? Yeah you get Regen 1, but what good is that to you when you're constantly at -1 to Str and Dex except at night?

Some options:

1. Adventure only at night.
2. Carry around an item of No Light (BoVD) and activate it when you need to get rid of the penalty.
3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burqa

That said, Troll-Blooded is rarely used outside of builds that use it to gain immunity to damage altogether, in which case the penalty becomes kind of trivial by comparison.

Or you can become immune to fatigue and not worry about it.

Custom made item of Cloak of Dark Power to never be in sunlight (also great for HiPS).

Tie an umbrella to your back.

This is in Sandstorm IIRC.

Liquid Night: It's not just for vampires anymore. (It's an alchemical item from Libris Mortis). Deeper Darkness is only 3rd level and lasts for days, also. So get/bribe/charm a cleric to hit you up with one of those every few days (and a way to ignore the 20% miss chance from it), and you're set.

That is pretty good.

Or purchase an eternal wand of it. Lasts less time, but whatever. 2/day.

Of a cleric spell?

I'm sure you could find a way. Isn't there a naga that casts cleric spells as a wizard or something?

[Maat Mons]

It's also on the assassin spell list.

I use Troll-blooded to make some minor trolls out of Tanarukk (Monsters of Faerun). They have 5 HD to start with; a level of Scout gives them the skill points they need to qualify for Horizon Walker.  One level of that makes them immune to fatigue.  It's a good way to differentiate adolescents from adults.
